Mariners News: Carlos Mendoza, Junior Caminero, and J.T. Realmuto

Carlos Mendoza reportedly withdrew his name from consideration for the Seattle Mariners managerial position after joining the Philadelphia Phillies coaching staff. Lookout Landing writer Nick Tucker notes that the decision does not inspire confidence in Seattle's ongoing managerial search. Additionally, former minor league players, including infielder Miles Mastrobuoni, have elected free agency.

Elsewhere around Major League Baseball, the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Cleveland Guardians in Game 4 to tie their postseason series at two games apiece. Meanwhile, Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto indicated he may spend less time catching next season, citing the physical toll and ABS challenge responsibilities.
